I feel that the officiating in the playoffs has been 100% pure bs. The phantom calls and Harden, the lack of 3 second calls on Indiana, etc. etc. etc.
I've watched so many games this season and it has really struck me how the nature of the game has suddenly changed in the playoffs. All it takes is the refs to protect the bigs of a team and put the other team's bigs into foul trouble and the game is over.
Or simply not call fouls on the defenders when a team attacks the rim and you punish them for trying the take the game into the lane - force them to move to jump shots and then the defenders take all the rebounds.
Granted its only the 3rd playoffs I've ever watched but it seems to me as being rigged.
look at game 4 and 5 in the celtics 76ers series. game 4, sixers take twice as many foul shots, win. game 5, celtics take twice as many foul shots, win. both on home court. fucking ridiculous.
